Let's keep a live commentary thread gonig again today.

[ET(end tyranny)]

Returned to PAKISTAN huh? Pakistan where that Sheik from the Red House article is from, that talked about Militant Muslims setting up bases in Virginia. Just a coincidence???

[Mo1]

To be honest .. I am kind of surprised the FBI hasn't .. unless there is something behind the scenes as to a reason why

[LisaFab]

LOL! My mom (76 years-old) has two TVs and two radios in the living room as well as two TVs and two radios in the kitchen. In all she has EIGHT TVs. I come by my addiction genetically. :-)

[freeperfromnj]

Can you find the one with "Curfew"?

[Siouxz]

They won't, until a staffer checks out this thread. As soon as Moose started talking like that, I immediately considered it a kind of "code" to let us know we're dealing with terrorists.

[swarthyguy]

Thanks to diogenesis. thread moves so fast its easy to miss...

[MasonGal]

LOL!!

[cactusSharp]

Bump post #1182!

[swarthyguy]

Never saw that one. Ping the poster if u remember who.

[Howlin]

For future reference, what did you tell them the reason you checked out was?

[Mo1]

Sometimes when I hear stuff on regular news sources, I think it's OLD NEWS......LOL.

LOL ... I can relate

[yukong]

Ditto:

My mom, 69, has a TV going in the LR, DR/K, BR, Sewing room, , some on FNC and others on MSNBC, and she keeps a constant tape rolling in the VCR recording FNC so that if she misses something, she can rewind and review. And since she is getting a little hard of hearing, she keeps the volume on each so high, that I swear, people a block away can hear FNC without turning on their TVs

[MasonGal]

Come on you guys - you guys are killing me. I need to get off here - go run some errands - eat some lunch - pick up my kids from Latin class!!

Oh well - with times the way they are - we need to laugh a little (or a lot).

[poppyseed]

I also think it's very telling that he attacked someone on a bus. He's already managed to shut down the schools, empty out shopping centers. Is he sending a message that commuters are next? Is he trying to frighten the public so they'll be afraid to venture out to work on buses and trains? Afraid to leave their children?

I wonder... based on conjecture that the sniper has directly threatened children, presumably schoolchildren, if his bus shooting today was to show that buses, including schoolbuses, are unsafe. Many parents are already staying with their children at bus stops, if not driving them directly to school - but if the sniper is trying to show us that he can shoot when people (including children) are ON THE BUSES...

I'm probably overthinking this, but I have this disease where I have to post every single theory I come up with.

"As soon as Moose started talking like that, I immediately considered it a kind of "code" to let us know we're dealing with terrorists. "

Fox news is addressing this now.. am mentioning the possibility that it could be alqaeda sympathizers or a domestic terrorist..

Question-
How much snow does this area get during the winter, and when does it usually start falling? If the shooter is getting into forested areas by foot, the snow will cause serious problems for him. Tracking is what I am thinking about.

Just wondering cause we are getting a little bit of snow here in Sioux Falls today.

Tk, $10 abd not the usual .02...you big spender, you!

*Smile*

Guess no music today, too much activity.

[Spirited]

If you are really into it you simply do not eat, your bladder retention capabilities are increased infinitely. You have a kitchen/dining area set up containing computer, radio, short-wave, TV (with PinP--which gives one access to 4 or more news outlets with flicks of buttons)

You are also a news/prayer resource to everyone who knows you.
